We welcome you as a participant in the annual World of Nations Celebration (WONC). WONC will be held February 26th - 28th, 2021  in Downtown Jacksonville and celebrates world cultures through an educational exposition featuring a number of international cultures on display.

Over the years, WONC has helped thousands of visitors experience the world in a very unique way through cuisine, mercantile, entertainment and cultural lessons represented by more than 30 countries.

As you consider participating as a non-profit country representative, the Country Manual includes guidelines to help you have the best experience possible. Your acknowledgement of the rules and guidelines is required. For questions, contact Becca Leon with the City of Jacksonville Sports & Entertainment Division at 904-255-5436 or RebeccaL@coj.net.

Thank you for joining us in the celebration and we look forward to a fantastic year!
